LS376/480 - 495 hp LS3 Crate Engine w/ Hot Cam

The Hot Cam Adds Some Heat To The LS3!

GM's engineers took a production LS3 and swapped out the stock camshaft for the racing-inspired LS Hot Cam (P/N 88958753), which delivered a stunning 495 HP and 473 lb-ft of torque. That’s nearly 12 percent more power and torque from a simple camshaft change! Chevrolet Performance wasted no time in adding the new engine – dubbed LS376/480 – to the crate engine portfolio.

The key to the power is the Hot Cam’s 0.525-inch lift on both the intake and exhaust, along with 219-degree/228-degree duration specs. That’s a bit less lift on the intake side than the LS3 cam, but considerably more duration, allowing the valves to stay open longer to draw in more air from the rectangular-port L92-style heads.

Chevy Performance engineers took a production LS3 6.2L (376 cubic inches) and swapped the stock camshaft for the racing-inspired LSHot Cam (P/N 88958753), which delivered a stunning 495 HP and 473 lb-ft of torque. That’s nearly 12 percent more power and torque from a simple camshaft change!

We at GM wasted no time in adding that terrific combination – dubbed LS376/480 – to our crate engine portfolio. The key to the power boost is the Hot Cam’s 0.525-inch lift on both the intake and exhaust sides, along with 219-degree/228-degree duration specs. That’s less lift on the intake side than the stock LS3 cam, but considerably more duration, allowing the valves to stay open longer to draw in more air from the rectangular-port L92-style heads.
